In play money, I hope. I’ve often wondered about those sites. If you lose your initial play money stake, you can always buy more play money for real money. 1,000,000 play money chips for $2.99, for example.

It’s to the site’s advantage for you to lose. Maybe you’ll buy more chips. So are they fixed, fixed so you’ll lose?

I've spent too much time on pokerstars dot net.

I've never had to buy chips as they give you 15000 every so many hours of play. I got up to as much as 500k, but am now back to around 300k.

I've been trying my luck at PLO and not having much. Too many people betting pot too early with crappy hands and getting there on the river.

It's more like playing the lottery than playing poker, but it is a distraction.
